The Orville Season 3 – Episode 6 Review

Warning: The following review contains spoilers for episode 6 of The Orville’s third season, titled “Twice in a Lifetime” as well as references to previous episodes. So far, The Orville’s third season has delivered repeated heavy-hitting, emotional episodes. At the same time,…

Immortals of Aveum (PC) Review

August was a gigantic month for new games in both quality and quantity. The biggest standout of that month was Baldur’s Gate 3 which demolished all expectations and set up a new standard for RPGs as a whole. During that time, another…

Doctor Who “The Star Beast” – Review

I’m sure Russell won’t try and annoy the perpetually online mob in his first episode back on the twilight of the 60th anniversary. Oh no, I’m forgetting who we’re talking about; the creator of Queer as Folk and It’s a Sin. The anniversary specials…

Haunted House (Switch) Review

As many of you are probably already aware, I love a good Rogue-like. I also love a good chance to explore games for Halloween that aren’t outright Horror-focused. There are so few games in the spooky season lineup that aren’t jumpscare factories…

Last Train Home (PC) Review

Early 20th-century Europe is fascinating. Not only for the many wars, but simply the politics and all that came from it. Formed in 1914, the Czechoslovak Legionnaires had two major roles in history: They were part of the allies/ententes for World War…

It’s Basic (Film) Review

As I discussed in my previous film review, documentaries are hard for me to evaluate. This one in particular was even more difficult due to its relatively short length. It’s Basic is only about an hour and ten minutes but certainly makes…

Agatha Christie: Murder on the Orient Express (Switch) Review

After reviewing The London Case a little while ago, I was very curious to see what Murder on the Orient Express had to offer. Upon investigating this new Agatha Christie release, I discovered that it wasn’t developed by Blazing Griffin. Instead, Microids…

Assassin’s Creed Nexus (Meta Quest 2) Review

There is a point somewhere between your room being lit up like Iron Man’s HUD as you set up The Animus/real-world nonsense and you start stabbing some Italian men as you swish around Ezio’s Yataghan sword that messes with my head. Bringing…

Doctor Who “Destination: Skaro” – Review

Oh Russell, you never let up with the Lekad? Adlek? Klaed? No, Edlak? They should really get that name sorted out, and maybe get a space plumber/policeman around to get their robots to employ plungers instead of claws. The very first bit…
